BA773 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 How is that affect the visual of a book? If i remember right it s the kind of diffect who could downgrade the book with age, i say that because people speak of rust migration, so is it to avoid? Will the book is going to rotten with time? Or is it not a terrible thing? I was only buying modern until now so sorry for this newbie question im not used to low grade for the moment...

shadroch Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Rusty staples are really only an issue on expensive HG books, in my opinion. The JLA lot you are looking at are readers, and some might say rust migration adds to the charm of low-grade BA books. Yorick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I like older books but the ones I can afford are usually in lower grades, where you'll occasionally find rust on staples. It's not an issue for me in the grades I buy. I just accept and enjoy books as they are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as i said im not preocuppated by how it looks... its more about if it could spread on the book with the time? Did you seen a difference on your books trough the years? I tought about color rub or something like that caused by the rust... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted Monday at 07:19 AM Share Posted Monday at 07:19 AM (edited) Once in my care they are removed from the conditions that would make the rust active again. The rust stabilises and no further spread. (My motorbike though, is a different problem!) Edited Monday at 07:20 AM by LowGradeBronze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
